Live by the media hype, die by the media hype...for someone else. Such is the sad fate of poor Beto O'Rourke who just a few short weeks ago basked in the glow of mainstream media adulation. Unfortunately for the Irish guy with the Mexican nickname, the media has switched its attention to another shiny object in the form of Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, now "burning with the velocity of a prairie fire on a gusty Indiana day."
On Wednesday, Politico chronicled Beto's tragic loss of his magic mojo in "Why the Media Dumped Beto for Mayor Pete." Appropriately it was authored by Jack Shafer, who back in October begged the press to stop hyping Beto so vigorously in "Stop the Press Before It Profiles Beto O’Rourke Again."
Can one discern a bit of glee on Shafer's part as he reports on Beto's new has-been status?

Who knew that Beto’s Jerry Lewis impersonation would be so good?
The new “It” girl.
I certainly hope she jumps in. Barr just might be the real deal. It’d be nice to see how she’d run while dealing with a real investigation into her felonies.
Most minorities will not vote for a homosexual pervert.
The real reason why plastic straws are being banned.
Stop it. Mayor Pete is in a committed relationship. He is married. His wife?/husband? and Mayor Pete are considering having children, they just haven’t decided on a method yet.
Try “never was”!
ooooh sh1t... LOL!
Democrats are desperate for someone to give them credibility in the Midwest and some Southern States as a VP. If Biden wins the nomination he will place Kamala Harris as VP. Bernie would pick Mayor Pete (if he holds together) as VP.

Did the MSM just pick their Sweetheart ,LOL
How about Woman, Black, Queer?
Just skip the obsolete old farts and go for it directly?
It’s weird. I was just mulling that over in my mind. The guy has no gravitas at all. He has the gestures & mannerisms of a hyper teen.
And now you hear nothing. And the fans calling him rugged & good looking left me baffled. He looks neither rugged nor good looking.
Or maybe that's what happens when guys share the same hair-care products long enough ...
The “labor oriented southern (well sort of!) Rat to give them credibility” could be Manchin. He’s lately been making some mildly critical centrist statements about the leftward drift of the Rat party. He’s doing this for two reasons:
1. Make himself available to be the Rat “centrist” VP.
2. Position himself better to run for WV Governor.**
** I’ve heard from people who know him that he hates the Senator job!
“Beto” became “Blanco” way too fast ...
Only Bernie and Butthead.
1896!!
Wow.
But these ####s leading the charge love them their fancy lives.
SMH
The theater of the absurd continues.
